ホエールウォッチングクルーズ　キャプテン・ゾディアック号　クジラと近距離＆スリル満点！ラフティングボートツアー＜午前・午後・夕方／12～3月／カイルアコナ発＞

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: おきた

It takes about 10 minutes by car from the town of Kailua-Kona to the office. There were no other Japanese tourists besides us; most of the participants were from the mainland United States. Instead of a cruise ship, we boarded a boat to head out to sea. Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins and saw many whales up close! We got soaked on the boat, but that was also a fun memory. Snacks and water were provided during the trip. I would love to participate again if I visit the Big Island during the season.

カイルアコナの町から車で10分くらいでオフィスに着きます。
ツアー客は私達のほかに日本人はおらずアメリカ本土から来ている人がほとんどでした。
クルーズ船というよりもボートに乗り込み沖まで行きます。
途中イルカの群れにも会え、クジラにも沢山、そして間近で見る事が出来ました！！
ボートで沖まで行くのでびしょ濡れになりましたが、それも楽しい思い出です。
途中スナックと水を貰えます。
またシーズンにハワイ島に行けば参加したいです。

First whale watching experience. 初めてのホエールウオッチング

Reviewed by: anko

Since my accommodation was in Kailua-Kona, I had to make my way to the meeting point on foot. However, the public parking was difficult to find, which made me quite anxious, so it's necessary to check in advance. The tour exceeded my expectations as I was able to see whales up close, which was fantastic. However, the boat does rock quite a bit, so I think those who are prone to seasickness should prepare accordingly.

Close encounter with a manta! 間近にマンタ！

Reviewed by: ハワイ好き

The sight of three manta rays gracefully rising from the seabed and swirling around in a mesmerizing dance under the fantastical light was truly beautiful and moving. They came up close to us repeatedly, creating an unforgettable experience.

The rental for wetsuits was $10 for adults and $5 for children. I was honestly worried that it might be too cold to endure during this winter season in Hawaii, but thanks to the wetsuits, it wasn't as cold as I expected, and the 40 minutes flew by.

We participated as a family of five across three generations: my mother (68), my husband (44), myself (40), my daughter (16), and my son (10), and everyone was extremely satisfied! The sunset and starry sky before and after snorkeling were also spectacular. Unlike regular snorkeling, this experience involved simply holding onto a board and floating while observing, so even small children, older adults, and those who are not good swimmers can enjoy it without worry.

幻想的な光の中を3枚のマンタが海底から優雅に上がってきて、グルグルと大きく踊るように回る様子は本当に美しく、感動的な光景でした。
身体に触れる近さで何度も何度も上がってきてくれて、一生忘れられない体験になりました。
ウェットスーツは大人10ドル、子ども5ドルで貸出でした。ハワイでも冬のこの時期、正直寒すぎて耐えられないのではないかと不安だったのですが、ウェットスーツのお陰で思ったよりも寒くなく、あっという間の40分でした。
3世代、母（68歳）、主人（44歳）、私（40歳）、娘（16歳）、息子（10歳）の5人で参加しましたが、全員大満足！
シュノーケリング前後の夕日や星空も見応え満点です。普通のシュノーケリングと違い、ボードに捕まって浮かぶだけの観察なので、小さい子も年配の方も、泳ぎが苦手な方も心配なく楽しめます。

I couldn't see the bridging, but I'm glad I got to meet the mother and baby whale. ブリッジングはみられず・・が、親子クジラに会えてよかった

Reviewed by: もりぞう

My husband and I participated together. Although we didn't encounter the bridging we were expecting (it seems the encounter rate is not very high), we did see a mother and calf whale! (I wonder if they are more commonly seen around Maui??)

The transportation was smooth, and we were able to experience an activity early in the morning, which allowed us to make the most of the rest of the day. I think it was a great schedule. Everyone on board was calling out, "Which direction are they?" as we spotted the whales, enjoying the spouts and tail slaps. The tour captain explained the whales' ecology (in English) and answered various questions from the passengers, which was very educational. I would love to participate again someday and hopefully see the bridging!

夫と二人で参加しました。期待していたブリッジングには遭遇できませんでしたが（ただ遭遇率はあまり高くないとのこと）、親子クジラに出会えました！（マウイ島のほうがみられるんでしょうか？？）

送迎はスムーズで、朝一にひとつアクティビティを体験でき、そのあとの一日をたっぷり使えますしよいスケジュールだと思います。乗客みんなで「何時方向にいる！」と見つけあい、潮吹きやしっぽたたきを楽しみました。ツアー船長が（英語ですが）クジラの生態について説明してくれました。乗客のいろいろな質問にも答えてくれて、学びになりました。いつかまた参加して、ぜひブリッジングを見てみたいです！

I couldn't see the manta ray... what a shame. マンタ見れず・・残念

Reviewed by: ももいろ

I was disappointed that I couldn't see the manta rays, but the Japanese female staff member was very cheerful. She provided thorough explanations about the tour content and the manta rays before it started, and she made sure that all participants understood the information, including the details about the opportunity for a retry since we couldn't see them this time. Watching the sunset and the journey to the point was very enjoyable, and on the way back, she was very considerate, which left a strong impression on me. Although I didn't get to see the manta rays, I felt grateful to have participated in such a wonderful tour.

マンタには会えず残念でしたが、日本人スタッフの女性がとても明るい方で、始まる前のツアー内容やマンタについての案内から今回見れなかったための再チャレンジの案内まで、参加者全員がちゃんと理解できているか確認するように、きちんと説明してくださりました。

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Disappointing trip!

Reviewed by: J12021

It was not stated were We would go to for the Manta Ray night time snorkle. We assumed it would be in front of the SheratonKona and were disappointed it was at the secondary location. We saw one manta Ray for about three seconds and that was it. I would highly recommend going to one that is in front of the SheratonKona because we got back to our hotel and we could see them from the restaurant there!

Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Absolutely worth the price, good for all ages!

Reviewed by: Alyssa Romeo

Obviously the tour does not summon the whales at their leisure, but we saw honestly 10+ whales (maybe some of the same ones) over a period of an hour and a half and it was incredible. I have so many photos that I can’t wait to post on social. Regardless of actually seeing the whales, the tour was not only educational but it was a smooth ride, very fun and friendly and we even used a hydro microphone that picked up the whales talking to eachother around us. It was nothing I’ve ever heard before, they are so loud!! I would recommend the early trip for any older folks (we took my grandma who is 78) and/or any easily motion sick people. Overall completely worth the price and waking up “early” on vacation.

When we went, we were the only Japanese people there, but we had a Japanese guide who made it enjoyable.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～3月／午前／軽食付き／ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発＞

It was an English tour, but I was able to enjoy whale watching without any issues. 英語のツアーでしたが無事にホエールウォッチングを楽しめました。

Reviewed by: Yuka

My English skills were below the level of daily conversation, but I was able to enjoy the experience without any problems.

【Before Boarding the Boat】
At the scheduled time, a small bus came to pick us up at the hotel front. We were dropped off near the sea close to Waikoloa and were told, "Come back here when you're done. Also, please fill out the consent form over there before boarding the boat." We headed towards a beach house on the sand. After completing the electronic signature on a device that looked like a tablet, we waited for about 10 minutes until a small boat arrived, and we boarded it. We transferred from the small boat to a larger boat just before going out to sea. There were only two of us from Japan participating.

【Whale Watching Experience】
Seating on the boat was free. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't understand what was being said at all (laughs). The boat was also swaying, so when standing up to take pictures of the whales, everyone stood, so please make sure to hold onto the ropes or handrails tightly. Although it was far away, we were able to see the whales spouting water about 4 to 5 times and also witnessed a low jump of a whale arching its back. It was a precious experience where I could feel the great nature of Hawaii Island. The crew was a kind young man. He said, "You can almost see whales every day! Dolphins are occasional. There are more in Kona than here." I was shown a picture of the boat getting very close to a whale by the crew, and I was amazed at how impressive it was. Since it depends on luck whether you see whales or not, I thought, "There are lucky days like this." By the way, the two of us did not get seasick.

【After Whale Watching】
Around 9:30, we got off the boat and transferred to a small boat to return to the beach. We boarded the bus we took on the way there and safely arrived back at the hotel front, marking the end of the tour.

Since it was my first experience with whale watching, I’m glad I participated! While waiting for the whales, I also enjoyed cruising. I could see the mountains like Mauna Kea in the distance and the beautiful coastline, making for a graceful time.

日常会話レベル以下の英語力でしたが、特に問題なく楽しむことができました。

【船に乗るまで】
時間になったらホテルのフロントまで小型バスが迎えに来てくれました。
ワイコロアから程近い海に降ろされ「終わったらここに戻ってきてね。それと船に乗る前に同意書は向こうで書いてね。」と言われ、砂浜にある海の家(?)に向かいます。タブレットのような機械で電子サインを済ませ10分ほど待つと小さな船が来たので乗りました。
沖より少し手前で小さな船から大きな船に移ります。
日本人参加者は私達2人だけでした。

【ホエールウォッチング体験】
船の席は自由です。英語ツアーなので私は何を言っているかはちんぷんかんぷんでした（笑）。
また船は揺れるので立ち上がってクジラの写真を撮る際は、皆立つのでしっかりロープや手すりにつかまってください。
遠かったですが4〜5回クジラの潮吹きを見ることができ、クジラの反り返りの低いジャンプも見ることができました。ハワイ島の大自然を感じられた瞬間で貴重な体験でした。
クルーも親切なお兄ちゃんでした。「クジラは毎日ほぼ見れるよ！イルカはたまに。ここよりもコナの方がいるよ。」とのこと。クルーのお兄ちゃんに船でクジラに大接近してる画像を見せてもらい、大迫力すぎて驚きました。自然相手なのでクジラに会えるor会えないは運ですが、こういうラッキーな日もあるんだなぁと思いました。ちなみに、私達2人は船酔いせずに済みました。

【ホエールウォッチングを終えて】
9:30頃船から降りて、また小さい船に移動し砂浜へ戻ります。行きに乗ったバスに乗り込み、無事にホテルのフロントに到着し無事にツアー終了となりました☆

ホエールウォッチングは初めての経験だったので、参加してよかったです！またクジラを待ってる間はクルージングとして楽しみましたよ。遠くの方にマウナケア等の山が見えて美しい海岸も見ることができ優雅な時間でした。

While I understand that no one can truly guarantee seeing whales naturally, it's still a bit disappointing not to have seen any and the only reason Oceans Sports didn't get the full 5 stars. We appreciated the opportunity to try again another day but our demanding schedule didn't allow for it.

That being said, the crew was incredible fun and friendly and we very much enjoyed our "boating trip". The drinks were good and we got some incredible recommendations from the crew for lunch and other day-time activities. I would highly recommend this trip to others even with the off-chance of not seeing any whales.

We were greeting by Lions almost immediately. He explained what was going to happen and when since we were early. The Captains came over later and introduced themselves after the boat was prepared. We all loaded and headed out.
We were told sightings were hit and miss, but lately had been good. Since I had been praying for multiple sightings I was expecting it to be a good night. We were not disappointed. Lions took our group right to the spot, among many others. He took care of us like the amateurs we were. He continuously checked that were were OK and whether we needed anything. Plus prepared us as to where to look when a ray was headed toward us.
By the end of the trip we had seen 3 different rays. Lions said that was the best night in months. Thank you Lions and Captains for a very memorable tour.

Overall, great and once in a lifetime experience to see manta ray(s) up close. We also saw a reef shark and lots of schooling fish. Seaquest provides you with everything you need (wet suit, snorkel gear, etc.). You may leave your dry items on the boat (ie. valuables, phones). All you really need is a towel since it can get chilly after.
